Step 1:Heat coconut butter or olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. The egg fried rice recipe is best made with a high-quality oil. Be careful not to let the oil smoke; turn the heat slightly lower if this happens.

Step 2:Add minced garlic and minced candied ginger to the oil. This egg fried rice recipe does not have exact measurements and can be tailored to your taste. One or two cloves of garlic and several slices of ginger work for most medium size recipe amounts.

Step 3:Add the cold cooked rice to the pan, slowly, crumbling out any lumps. This fried rice recipe is great to make with leftover rice. You need at least two cups of cooked rice.

Chicken fried rice is a delicious dish that can even be put together with leftovers. You can cook the chicken and rice ahead of time and make the dish the next day, or you can freeze leftover rice and chopped chicken and use them when you're ready to cook. However, you must use cooked rice that is cold and straight out of the refrigerator

Step 1:Heat 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the chilled rice. Using a spatula, break the rice apart and stir over medium heat until well heated. Put the rice aside in a bowl.

Step 3:Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. Add the rice back to the skillet with the eggs. Add the cooked chicken and water chestnuts. Stir fry over medium heat until the entire mixture is heated through.

Things You'll Need:

Pizza Dough Pizza Sauce Toppings of your choice An Oven A Pizza Pan

Step 1:Preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2:Cover the pan with a very thin layer of extra virgin olive oil. Then lightly sprinkle a bit of corn meal and seasoned salt over the pan. This will keep the dough from sticking to the pan.

Step 3:Place the uncovered dough in the oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. This will firm up the crust and keep it from being soggy when you add the sauce and toppings.

Step 4:Use a ladle to spoon the sauce onto the pre-cooked crust. Poor the sauce in the center and use the bottom of the ladle to spread the sauce evenly across the crust.

Step 5:Add your toppings. Whatever you choose, make sure you spread them in a way that covers the pizza evenly. The more toppings you have the more sparsely you want to use them. Your pizza should not be so stacked that it falls apart when you pick up your slice.

Step 6:Put the pizza in the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese just starts to brown. Remove, slice and enjoy.

Step 3:Cover the peanut butter with a layer of bananas and then the other piece of bread.

Step 4:Spray the outside of the sandwich with the cooking spray and place in the pan.

Step 5:Flip the sandwich until both sides are evenly toasted.

Relevent TipsThis ends up tasting like a stuffed waffle or other breakfast treats that you pay a fortune for in restaurants. I only use wheat bread because I like the taste with the peanut butter and bananas. You could use white bread or potato if you prefer these tastes.

This is a healthy alternative to traditional chili with meat. It is a great way to supplement your diet with more vegetables. You only use one pot, so there is less clean up after you are done with dinner. Read on to learn how to make vegetarian chili.

"Simply Delicious!" is what you'll hear when you serve up this robust flavored chicken! You'll need to marinade chicken overnight to capture full flavor, so make sure to plan ahead! This chicken is terrific for dinner or cook the night before and you'll have an outstanding, finger-licking picnic item! The side dishes you can serve up with this are countless so let your creativity flow to make this a "must have" on your family menu!

Step 1:Clean your chicken well by running it under water and running your hands over it. Poultry should always be cleaned well before eating it.

Step 2:After the chicken is cleaned, make sure it is still wet and cover it in flour. You can either roll it in flour to make sure it is well coated or put some flour in a plastic bag, close it and shake it up. If you get too much you might want to brush off the excess with a clean hand.

Step 3:Pour come vegetable oil in the bottom of the frying pan and allow it to warm up. When the oil is warm, add the chicken. It will pop and sound like it's burning. Allow 10 to 15 minutes per side. This will allow it to get good and crispy.

Step 4:Carefully remove the chicken from the pan and place it between two layers of paper towel to get off some of the grease. Enjoy!

This recipe is simplified to make it easy for anyone to make and enjoy sushi. Sushi does not have to contain raw fish! This recipe is very Westernized, to please most tastes. The fish is either smoked or well cooked, so you don't have to take a risk!

Step 3:While rice is cooking, in a small saucepan combine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.

Step 4:As soon as rice is cooked, pour hot vinegar mixture over rice. Stir in. Cover and let stand, to let liquid absorb into rice. Leave it sitting until cool - you can put it into the refrigerator if you like, but wait at least 15 minutes first, to make sure there is enough time for the hot liquid to soak into the rice, or your rice will not be fully cooked!

Step 5:While you are waiting for your rice to cool, you can prepare your other ingredients, as described in the list.

Step 6:When the rice is cool, you are ready to make your sushi. Place a sheet of nori onto a slightly damp tea towel.

Step 7:Spread about 2 tablespoons of rice in a line at one end of the sushi. Use the spoon to flatten it out to make a very thin layer. Try to keep the rice within the first 1/3 or 1/2 of the nori closest to you. This will make it easier to roll it later.

Step 8:Add strips of salmon on top of the rice, just one thin line along the width. Beside it, add one thin line of carrot sticks along the width. Add all fillings this way.

Step 9:Roll the edge closest to you over the lines of fillings, then roll tightly to the end. Use a few drops of water to help the end stick to the roll, if needed.

Step 10:Slice the roll into six or eight equal pieces. If you like, you can serve it with soya sauce, or wasabi (very hot!).

Want to save a few bucks every month on plain yogurt? Here is how,do it your self..

Instruction

Things You'll Need:

2 tablespoons of Plain Yogurt milk (ideally whole milk, but 2% reduced fat milk will also do and so will non fat milk)

Step 1:Heat almost half-gallon milk in a container until it just starts to boil.

Step 2:Remove the entire container from the stove and leave the milk to cool down. Do not expedite the cooling process by refrigerator.

Step 3:Once the milk cools down to lukewarm temperature transfer it to another plastic or china container, which has a tightly fixing lid. Do not use a metal container, as it will give a bad taste to the yogurt. For convenience you may use the plastic container of the yogurt that you bought from the store. But make sure it is cleaned thoroughly.

Step 4:Place 2 tablespoon full of yogurt at the bottom of the container. It’s important not to stir the milk. Secure the lid on the container and place it gently in a warm corner of the room.

Step 5:Surround the container with a woolen blanket to keep milk warm. Leave it undisturbed for 5-6 hours.

Step 4:Let the curry cook for about 10-15 mins. Add in more water and oil if you desire more gravy.

Relevent TipsYou are the best judge of the quantity of ingredients to go into the curry. You can alter the quantity accordingly. If you desire a less spicy curry, reduce the amount of paprika powder. The chicken curry is best with bread or rice. Enjoy!

Step 1:Wash, peel and de-vein prawns or shrimp, remove the heads but keep the tails intact.

Step 2:Bring water or stock to boil in a sauce pan over medium heat then add lemongrass, galangal and lime leaves. Cook until fragrant.

Step 3:Add all the seafood except the shrimp or prawns (DO NOT STIR) and wait until they change color then add the shrimp or prawns. Cook a few more minutes then add the sweet basil leaves, swirl gently and turn off heat.

Step 4:In a serving bowl, (Do this while waiting for the sauce pan to boil) combine lime juice, chilies and fish sauce.

Step 5:Add the ingredients from the sauce pan when done to the serving bowl. Mix bottom to top and top with the dried red chilies and sprig of sweet basil.

Relevent TipsDO NOT stir once you added the seafood as it will make the soup smell of fish.

Quick easy step to bussy mom.This is a nostalgic dish I used to whip up with two of those four younger sisters I was telling you about. This is a fun one for kids over ten years old--they can help chop, peel and arrange. And because it has fruit, cheese and veg--it's terribly good for them!

Instruction

Step 1:Slice a few mild cheeses like Monterey jack, Swiss and cheddar, but try at least one "stinky" cheese. A good place to start might be bleu cheese--because you could drizzle some honey over it for added palatability.

Step 2:Slice (or assign a slicer) Granny Smith apples, oranges, bananas and grapes. Also try either kiwi, mango or pomegranate--at least one fruit which is new to them.

Step 3:Chop up some broccoli florets, carrots, (not the mini orange thumbs!) radishes, and hearts of palm. The hearts of palm are, obviously, not your run-of-the-mill crudite-platter offering. But kids are usually interested in their salty-sweet soft-crunch. And it expands their horizons!

Step 4:You could whip up a batch of my famous Green Goddess dressing and dip. Or, if you're lazy, a pre made container of a dill dip.

Step 5:Choose an arranger and a garnisher, depending on how many kids you're cooking with. Pile everything on one, huge platter and serve with mini plates.

Relevent TipsEach time you make it, use a different cheese, veg and fruit. Even if they hate it, you're trying something new. Maybe they'll loathe hearts of palm, but they'll be mad for papaya!

The secrets to fried rice are simple, but most cooks who make fried rice are not aware of them—thus their creations do not taste authentically Asian. Remember these two secret ingredients, if nothing else: sesame oil and ginger root.

Step 1:Start with a tablespoon of sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly scramble an egg or two in the oil, and remove it. Add another tablespoon of sesame oil, and to that, a few tablespoons of chopped onions (green onions and their tops are especially good, but half of a medium yellow or white onion will do as well), and anywhere from several tablespoons of chopped ham to an entire cup of ham if you like. You can also use shrimp, or a combination of the shrimp and ham, or use tofu. If you do use shrimp, add it just before serving and only heat it through—do not overcook it. If using tofu, fry it separately in a little oil and some soy sauce until it develops a slight skin, then add back to the other frying pan). Stir fry until the onion is almost translucent.

Step 2:Add about a cup of any vegetables you like, and stir fry until cooked through. (Use firm vegetables, not mushy ones, as described in Veggies, below.) Sweet frozen peas are recommended. Chopped snow peas are great too. Soybeans (eda mame) add a lot of protein.

Step 3:Add three cups cooked and cooled medium- or long-grain write rice. (It’s important that the rice be “dry.” Moist rice will make your fried rice gooey. If you make more rice than you need one time, then use the leftover for fried rice. Or, simply make rice ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight or let it rest until it is cool.)

Step 4:Lightly stir fry the rice for a few minutes—it does not need to be cooked—just tossed with the seasonings.

Step 5:Add 1 tablespoon grated ginger root and about a tablespoon of soy sauce to taste. Add ground pepper to taste. Stir fry for another minute, making sure the soy sauce gets evenly distributed in the rice. Just before serving, add in the scrambled egg, chopping the eggs with your spatula to separate into small bits. Serve.

Hallo great sandwish fellow! Though surely had it not been him, someone would have popularized this classic portable meal. Now anyone can throw stuff between bread and eat it, but a great sandwich is made with meticulous touches. Obsessive, yes, but that is how to make a great sandwich.

Step 1:Choose a bread. Make it special like tuscan herb, or maybe a homemade variety. The bread is on either end of your sandwich. If you want it to be great, then you’ve got to do better than manufactured breads stacked in plastic bags on grocery store shelves.

Step 2:Spread your choice of mustard evenly over one side of bread, all the way out to the edges. Meat goes on top of this.

Step 3:Make your choices of meats and cheeses to compliment each other. Roast beef or ham go great with Swiss. Bologna and pepperoni are good with cheddar or American.

Step 4:Heat meat and cheese. Spread sliced roast beef in a skillet and sear both sides. Then cover with slices of Swiss and let it melt. Use a spatula to scoop this on to mustard slathered bread.

Step 5:Spread a few licks of mustard over cheese and distribute pickle slices evenly on top. Lay tomato slices to cover the bread width entirely and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer multiple lettuce leaves to cover the entire surface and sprinkle that with salt and pepper.
